One of the most remarkable things about this film was its very small crew. I have worked on big and small sets over these past seven years, and I still often remember my very first crew from La Tragedia de Macario. The objective was to create a film under the formula that created my very first film (La Tragedia de Macario) and to avoid the big crew approach. This would not be a production, this would be a painting, and I needed a few brushes. My crew was composed of five people (including me). Alex Walker would be the Director of Photography, Stephen Villela would be my Producer, Carolyn King would be my Art Director, and Mikaila Hernandez would be my Sound Gal. This small group of unreasonably dedicated individuals would rally up in the middle of nowhere to create a painting in motion, our film.

Carolyn King — producer, art director

Carolyn King graduated from the University of Texas at San Antonio with a degree in Fine Art Photography. Her passion for creativity in photography and interest in self-expression lead her to explore the film medium as a new realm of self-discovery. Since graduating from university, she has fallen deeply in love with acting and the art of performance, specifically driven by the intricacies in acting that connect us to something real outside of the camera. Carolyn is a dedicated film actor and conceptual artist, living, working and playing in Houston,TX.

Mikaila Hernandez — producer, sound

As a strong believer in the necessity of artistic expression in life, Mikaila graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a degree in Radio-TV-Film. Her love for music and storytelling began at home and inspired her to host her own radio show on the college station KVRX, which featured underground bilingual free-styling artists. She moved to San Antonio two years ago to teach Animation and A/V Production at a local high school and to further her experience as an audio recordist and mixer. Music, dance and storytelling continue to be her favorite modes of expression.
